As one of our projects officers, you will work across Scotland to establish and cultivate relationships with people who share our mission and aim. You will support the business development team in representing the organisation by liaising with a wide range of people; be it building relationships with commissioners and partners, inspiring others to fundraise, or creating videos featuring our staff and the people we support.

You will recognise the importance of following agreed processes to achieve the overall aims of the team. Through your attention to detail and focus, you will support the submission of highly accurate tenders and proposals for new work, and contribute to the effective administration of the team’s systems. You will contribute towards realising shared goals and objectives.

Your creativity will lead you to articulate the life-changing impact of our existing contracts and projects through photography, videography and design. You will understand and communicate the significance of our work – that people are supported to overcome physical, psychological and societal barriers in order to live the life they want, follow new interests and create new connections – and hence the importance of our team to make it possible.

You will understand that the sooner we’ve accomplished our objectives – researching new possibilities, presenting proposals, raising target amounts of money, and effectively communicating our impact – the sooner we’ll be changing people’s lives and enhancing Carr Gomm.

Your enthusiasm, adaptability and problem-solving approach will encourage others to get involved with Carr Gomm, in a variety of ways, and contribute to growing our network and reach.

Reporting to the business development manager, you will be responsible for supporting senior officers in the team with a wide variety of projects. Examples of your work include supporting the team to:

complete and submit tenders in an accurate and timely fashion

research and maintain an overview of local authority commissioning and procurement activity

research potential development opportunities

produce monthly and quarterly impact and monitoring reports

create an extensive photo and video library as part of the organisation’s PR assets

implement fundraising and marketing projects, within the context of the Strategic Plan

administer and maintain accurate databases, systems and processes to ensure efficiency and inform decision making

This outline is by no means exhaustive; rather it gives a flavour of the responsibilities undertaken by a projects officer and the wider team. The work of the business development team is varied, meaning your daily duties will consist of a fine balance between routine tasks and evolving projects. We do not work alone, but interdependently in a cross-functional team, so there will always be colleagues available to support you, and equally requiring your help to meet our team objectives.

What makes a great projects officer?

Successful projects officers come from different backgrounds and have a range of work and life experiences. All have a keen eye for detail and a flair for engaging with and relating to people, and all share our values; respect, interdependence, choice, control, openness and honesty. In our eyes, the best officers are focused, creative, tech-savvy, patient, positive, and self-motivated team players who are wonderful ambassadors, analytical thinkers, excellent storytellers, and passionate world changers.

Closing Date: Noon, Monday 3rd of December

Something as simple as a smile can make the world of difference to their day and yours If you share our belief, this is your opportunity to join our close-knit and supportive team. It can be pretty challenging at times and priorities can change quickly so you will definitely need to be a patient and understanding individual. We work closely together as a team though – there’s always someone to talk to and we all help each other out wherever we can.

While an SVQ 3 qualification in Social Care would be ideal, it’s not essential as we’ll support you to gain it. In fact, we’ll make sure that you have all the training and development you need, not only so you can do a great job, but to help you build your career with us too.

What’s more, you will be part of one of Scotland’s largest voluntary social work organisations. At CrossReach, we offer quality care and counselling to a wide range of people in need.
